The Holy Spirit is the
holifying, sanctifying, the making-holy Spirit. Holiness is not just an inert
attribute or property of the Spirit. The word Holy in the name Holy Spirit says
what the Spirit DOESem>. .
He makes holy. He calls, He gathers, He enlightens, He sanctifies you, and the
whole Christian church on earth. God is for you.

God delivers.

He delivers justification,
faith, and regeneration by the Word using
watera>.
He delivers his true body and blood by the Word using
bread and wine. .
With the blood received in your mouth, He delivers to you what the blood was
shed for, the forgiveness of sins. In the Word and Sacraments, God is Immanuel,
God with us, who visits with consolation for sin and joy in salvation. God is
for you.

True Worship.

The true worship of God is
to receive his gifts.

And the difference between this faith and the
righteousness of the Law can be easily discerned. Faith is the latreiva
[divine service], which receives the benefits offered by God; the righteousness
of the Law is the latreiva [divine service] which offers to God our
merits. By faith God wishes to be worshiped in this way, that we receive from
Him those things which He promises and offers. (Apology
of the Augsburg Confession, IV.49)

Focus.

Immerse your life in his gifts, and
don't worry, you'll have all the doing, being, and thinking anyone could use. We
cannot do, be, or think rightly without his gifts. But mostly, you will have
life, and that abundantly and eternally, as a reception by faith of gifts from
our Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier, the God who is for us and gives us his
greatest gift: Himself.
